Comment:

Erm...I guess the point of making this mix was to commit as many songs to tape as quickly as possible so as to stave off the creeping "mix block". Stated in theory, but not exactly put into practice, seeing as side B took me four hours to complete. I wasn't as self-conscious about repeating songs while mixing this tape(even tho that Robyn Hitchcock track has appeared before; albeit as an MP3), I just sort of went with it. It also harkens back to the days when I would intersperse the tracks with little minute-long geegaws to break up the continuity a little bit; the majority of the tracks I chose are between three and four minutes long, which extends the life of the mix by packng more content into it. I've made mixes before that feature all my favorite seven to ten-minute long songs, and most of them seem so insubstantial due to the low number of tracks I was able to fit on a single tape. By reducing the mean run time of a track, I'm able to squeeze in more, and potentially make the whole tape greater than the sum of its tracks. I'm analyzing it now, and my actions seem all very methodical, but believe me, it was all about the Zen when I was down in the trenches putting this thing together...=]'
